520 |a In this anthology, bestselling novelist and acclaimed wine-writer Jay McInerney gathers twenty-seven pieces of literary distinction and historical sweep about the making, selling and, of course, drinking of fine wine. Including excerpts from novels, short fiction, memoir and narrative nonfiction, Wine Reads features big names in the trade and literary heavyweights alike. We follow Kermit Lynch to the northern Rhône in a chapter from his classic Adventures on the Wine Route. In an excerpt from Between Meals, longtime New Yorker writer A. J. Liebling raises feeding and imbibing on a budget in Paris into something of an art form, and discovers a very good rosé from just west of the Rhone. Michael Dibdin's fictional Venetian detective Aurelio Zen gets a lesson in Barolo, Barbaresco and Brunello vintages from an eccentric celebrity. And in an essay from her collection Musings on Wine, celebrated food writer MFK Fisher shares four simple rules for wine enjoyment, and meditates on how choosing the appropriate glass can reveal a wine's true character. Also showcasing an iconic scene from Rex Pickett's Sideways and work by Jancis Robinson, Jim Harrison, Roald Dahl and McInerney himself, this is an essential volume for any disciple of Bacchus.
